The 540c has more RAM than the 5300c.  The latter really needs more, given
the PPC processor, so the 540c has a realteively large amount of RAM while
the 5300 has the bare minimum.  Also, there have indeed been many problem
with the 5300 series, large and small.  The 540c is the pinnacle of
development of the 040 line and is very stable, while depending on your
karma, the 5300 is less so.  Also, note that the 540c has a modem and the
5300 does not.  Seemed like a simple question you were asking, with a
clear and simple answer, but not so.
